CARERS

Visitors who have any of the below documentation are entitled to one free carer ticket, the guest with the disability and any further members of their party will pay full price. You will be asked to show your documentation to a member of our reception team on arrival. You will need one of the following documents:

• Disability Living Allowance or Attendance Allowance award letter (dated within the last 12 months).

• Personal Independence Payment letter (dated within the last 12 months).

• A current and valid Blue Badge.

• Letter from GP or consultant (dated within the last 12 months) confirming the need for a full-time carer. This does not need to be a letter of diagnosis.

For visitors who require more than one carer we ask that you bring documentation to support this.

We have a limited number of wheelchairs available for visitors to borrow upon request on a first come first served basis. We recommend that these are reserved prior to visiting to ensure availability (call 01451 850 307).

Doorways to the Farm Park shop and café are extra wide and ramped. The Farm Safari can accommodate one wheelchair at a time. The Farm Park itself has concrete, gravelled and grassy walkways, all wide enough to accept wheelchairs. Please note many of these areas are sloped and may require a bit of strength to navigate in a manual wheelchair.

GUESTS WITH LEARNING DISABILITIES

A visit to the Farm Park is a multi-sensory and interactive experience. Please take all the time you need. Our team are more than happy to answer any questions during your visit- feel free to test them out!

VISUALLY IMPAIRED

We have five listening posts around our Rare Breeds Through History walkway. Each post features two buttons, the left button will play audio aimed at children, the right button will play audio aimed at adults. All audio explains the history of the breeds in the surrounding paddocks.

Assistance dogs are allowed throughout the Farm Park (as long as they are working at the time).

HEARING IMPAIRED

There is a wealth of written information around the Farm Park to explain our history, the farming year and the story of each of our breeds. If you would like a printed copy of our seasonal demonstrations and displays, please contact us at info@cotswoldfarmpark.co.uk at least one week prior to your visit."

Brief description

"Adam Henson is perhaps the best-known farmer in the UK, presenting his own section on BBC’s Countryfile to millions of viewers each Sunday evening. But farming and conservation are Adam’s first passions and when the camera stops rolling, there is still plenty of work to be done.

My father, Joe Henson, founded Cotswold Farm Park in 1971 to help protect some of our rare breeds of farm animal. Together with my business partner Duncan and our enthusiastic team, I am proud to continue in his wellington-booted footprints.

We have passion for all we do here and are dedicated to delivering the best of British farming, through a sustainable and authentic approach.

A diversified rural business with holiday accommodation, a restaurant and shop, a visitor attraction and a working farm employing up to 100 team members over the season, and making a significant contribution to suppliers and service providers in the local economy. We are also a member of the National Farm Attractions Network, a sector organisation with over 200 operator members, and our situation will be similar to many other rural diversified businesses."
